We will begin on Monday, February 24, at 6pm with Prayers for all Faculty, Staff and Students, as well as the President of St Cyril’s. This will take place at our chapel at Carlton (252 West St, Carlton). It is mandatory for all students as the importance of this cannot be emphasised enough. At the centre of all authentic theology is the Liturgy; it grounds, vitalises, and transforms the very endeavour of theology. Following this we will have a celebratory dinner (agape meal) with all present. This will be followed by several sessions for students.
